00:00This fairy penguin is the first of its kind to have an MRI.
00:06Chaka lives at Sea Life, and its handlers noticed that the little penguin had a wobble when he waddled.
00:12He was taken to cave veterinary specialists, where an MRI was performed to make sure that Chaka was in good
00:19health.
00:20Keeping the penguin calm and still was the biggest challenge, but everything went well.
00:25Cave veterinary specialist Pippa Tucker said,
00:28We are delighted that all went to plan, and we are happy the MRI scan was successful.
00:35Curator at Sea Life Weymouth, Kiko Irola, said,
00:39The first scan of a fairy penguin will therefore help to widen the knowledge of the species,
00:44for both us and others around the world,
00:47helping us ensure we're providing the best possible care for our family of penguins.
00:53Good news for all involved.
